Here's an approach using the built-in Date object. We create a new Date object representing the current date, and then use the setFullYear() and setMonth() methods to subtract the specified number of years and months, respectively, and then use setDate() method to subtract the specified number of days

const getPreviousDate = (years, months, days) => {
    const date = new Date();
    date.setFullYear(date.getFullYear() - years);
    date.setMonth(date.getMonth() - months);
    date.setDate(date.getDate() - days);

    return date;
};


console.log(getPreviousDate(1, 2, 10));

Basically, you wanted to deduct the year,month and day from current date? If yes, use date-fns.

var sub = require('date-fns/sub')
var date = new Date()

var newDate = sub(date, {
  years: 5,
  months: 4,
  days: 2
}))

    Your script is not runnable here. OP would need to know how to make modules too – mplungjan Jan 13 '23 at 06:43
  • If you use a code snippet, be sure you test wether your code actually runs. The snippet you gave jist gives « script error ». Not very helpful to the OP. – Klaassiek Jan 14 '23 at 14:36
